But it has all the features you expect in the Metcon 5.

The Metcon 5 is built for strengh (weightlifting) and speed.

Like all the Metcon 5 line, the AMP edition gives you stability for heavy lifting thanks to it’s stiff heel and midsole. But there’s still traction for sprints, jumps, rope climbs, and more during high-intensity training.

The Metcon 5 is “your secret weapon in the gym”.

It’s not just an agile CrossFit training shoe for functional fitness – it has strategic stability too.

Nike Metcon 5 AMP Sole - Nike Metcon 5 AMP - Black/Green Strike/Blue Fury/Fire Pink — Diamond shaped heel is wide and flat in the Nike Metcon 5 AMP – for stability.

The heel is low, flat, and wide. Want more heel to toe drop (or “offset”)?

Simply drop in the removable Hyperlift insert.

That will give you 8mm (men’s – 6mm women’s) adds offset to help improve stability for exercises that need it: pistol squats, bilateral squats, wall balls and thrusters.

The extra offset helps minimize ankle flexion – so you can get low and deep on a squat with ease.

This is great for abrasion-resistance during rope climbs – and grip too.

Rope climbs can SHRED a normal shoe’s upper – but not the Metcon 5 – it is made for rope climbs.

Diverse cushioning is also a factor thanks to the dual-density midsole on the Metcon 5.

With more cushion in the forefoot and less in the heel – you can go from heavy lifting to box jumps or burpees with ease.

(You can even see in the pictures the two distinct zones of foam cushioning.)

That outsole is made from rubber and offers great gym floor traction for agility drills and sled pushes as well.
